I looked at the header info and all paths say 'yahoo' and it looks legit. There is a download but I didn't open it.

Thanks. I am usually pretty good at figuring these things out but this one had me questioning things - it had the exclamation point and the paths all pointed back to yahoo.

Damn scammers - wish they would use their powers for good!

I didn't get it and I wouldn't open it even if I did. besides, Yahoo will never automatically close anything without 10,000 emails reminding you that they will. and even then, they don't want to lose your email account to Gmail or another provider.
